First of all, thank you for taking the time to review this information. This is what I do for a living, so your interest means quite a bit to me. My name is Mike McAbee and I'm a musician from Decorah, Iowa. I play up and down the Mississippi River Valley from Guttenberg to Winona, and throughout the Midwest. I also do Stand-up comedy on a regular basis. Because I play so many different types of venues I realize some of the information contained here might not concern you, but I hope you'll find something of interest and help me out. I appreciate your time.
